 From 2005 onwards, Germany uses activity data calculated from the CO<sub>2</sub> emissions of the Emission Trading System (ETS), delivered by the German emission trading authority (DEHSt), and the default CO<sub>2</sub> emission factor from the IPCC Guidelines 2006 for carbon black production. A comparison of the statistical data and the emission trading data leads to the conclusion, that the statistical data is most probably overestimated. From 2005 onwards, Germany uses activity data calculated from the CO<sub>2</sub> emissions of the Emission Trading System (ETS), delivered by the German emission trading authority (DEHSt), and the default CO<sub>2</sub> emission factor from the IPCC Guidelines 2006 for carbon black production.

 For the mercury (Hg) losses from the Chlor-alkali industry, Germany used the yearly published data from OSPAR [(ODIMS (OSPAR Data & Information Management System); https://odims.ospar.org/en/search/?dataset=chlor_alkali_data)] on the plant specific production capacity for the AD and the plant specific emissions from the chlor-alkali industry. Because of the BAT (best available technique) conclusion for the Chlor-alkali industry, the production based upon the amalgam process has stopped in 2017. Most production sites switched to membrane technology. For the mercury (Hg) losses from the Chlor-alkali industry, Germany used the yearly published data from OSPAR [(ODIMS (OSPAR Data & Information Management System); https://odims.ospar.org/en/search/?dataset=chlor_alkali_data)] on the plant specific production capacity for the AD and the plant specific emissions from the chlor-alkali industry. Because of the BAT (best available technique) conclusion for the Chlor-alkali industry, the production based upon the amalgam process has stopped in 2017. Most production sites switched to membrane technology.
 However, emissions of Hg are still ocurring, because two production sites still continue to uses the amalgam process for the production of certain alcoholates; not regulated by the BAT conclusions for Chlor-alkali production. Before 2018 these Hg-emissions were reported together with the Hg-emissions from Chlor-alkali production. But the OSPAR convention does not request the Hg-emissions from alcoholate production to be reported, so CEFIC does no longer report these emissions to OSPAR. However, emissions of Hg are still ocurring, because two production sites still continue to uses the amalgam process for the production of certain alcoholates; not regulated by the BAT conclusions for Chlor-alkali production.

-As from 2018 PRTR data is used to determine mercury emissions belonging to the alcoholate production. Due to a delay of the 2019 PRTR data the 2018 emission value is used also in 2019 and 2020.+As from 2018 PRTR data is used to determine mercury emissions belonging to the alcoholate production.
